Double click for better impressionism....Pretend adding your own dots of paint, sprinkle in some light brush strokes and turn the photo of a Tenerife countryside with Teide, burned
indigenous
pines, different trees, roadside and other details into an
impressionist painting...

If you are not trained in art just visualize the picture as a landscape bathed in lights barely touching tree tops...
Not the author is responsible for such suggestions but, Tenerife wildfires 2007 which left island particularities to work with.

Tenerife details photo indigenous plant

Unharmed by wildfires Tenerife Prickly Pear Opuntia Cactus is waiting for the bees. This cactus which looks like the ones found in southern Africa grows wild near Mount Teide and all over Tenerife amidst other endemic plants. The parasite Dactylopius Coccus scale insect from which Cochineal die is made, certainly, survived flames which should have been confirmed in page endemic plants.

The tinier life forms are the more immunity they have against any natural
harm including fire.

Discover another one of my Tenerife pictures with forest fire damage and bare empty spaces between pines left behind after the flames where small gorges in between are well visible.

Here again, mount Teide
is in the background.

The next 2 photos will
reveal fire harm of a different nature.

Below see a focal point of Masca with a lonely dwelling whose roof is still nice and red. Some green palm tops are sprinkled nearby. Cinder gray color surrounds almost everything. It was captured on camera by my friend César F.Real Real shortly after destructive flames hit this Alice in Wonderland mountain
spot of the island of Mount Teide.

Mazca or Masca

Masca's mountain slopes
with extraordinary views
from its "rabbit highways" were off limits for humans
for a good while after the fires. So were, all proper hiking
paths.

There, obviously, will be landslide danger when the rains
come which will heal the country, in general.
Look how exposed much of it is...

By the road from Masca leading into
the district town of province Santiago del Teide
which carries the same name
all mountain slopes were deprived of
their protective greenery by Tenerife fires. Green sprouts, slowly started shooting again, a year later.

After fire photos of the
town of giant cliffs which is very closeby are irrelevant. Los Gigantes was not exposed to the tragedy.
